BB workshop

I'm going to a big book workshop next week.. Anyone have any advice on what to expect from this? I'm just about to start my step 4, if that matters...Thanks!

good on ya!
what to expect? nothing.
when I release myself from expectations I am free to enjoy things for what they are instead of what I think they should be.

It will be an experience you will never
forget as you build your strong solid
foundation to live your life upon for
many one days sober down the road.

Bring your highlighter and pencil to
underline important words and phrases
and write in the margin your notes.

This is a wonderful awesome experience
I myself experienced it in early recovery
and will always remember how important
it was for my own recovery program to
attend some 26 yrs sober ago.

Listen, learn, absorb and apply.

Enjoy yourself.

Thanks! I'm a "what type of fight? knife or gun? So I know what to bring." Type of guy. I'm actually very excited for it! Oddly,as not a religious person, I'm loving AA!! The people, their sobriety and the support..It's awesome and I can't(honestly can) believe it took a judge to get my ass in the door! I'll be sending him a letter..It has changed my life in all aspects!
